Evergreen Hospital, Cancer Lifeline and the Seattle Chapter of the Lymphoma Research Foundation (LRF) will host the inaugural meeting of this community’s first Lymphoma Network Group on Tuesday, May 24.
This free event will feature three experts answering questions about “Living with Lymphoma” and will take place from 7-8:30 p.m. in the Evergreen Surgery & Physicians Building on the Evergreen Hospital Campus at 12333 N.E. 130th Lane, Kirkland.
“Lymphoma is the most common form of blood cancer that we treat with nearly 630,000 people in the U.S. living with it or in remission from it. Yet here in the Seattle area there is no support or networking group to help patients, survivors and caregivers cope with this disease. We are about to change that,” said Rose Guerrero, executive director of cancer services at Evergreen.
The Lymphoma Network Group will focus on lymphoma education, support and advocacy. The event will include coffee, tea and dessert from Kimberly Mathai’s cookbook.
While the event is free, space is limited, so those interested in attending should register by calling 425-899-3000. Or they can register online at www.evergreenhospital.org. Free parking is available in the Blue Parking Garage.
